I have know idea what your problem is, perhaps you are a bored 14 year old with nothing better to do now that school is out, I don't know.

I'm not going to get into a pi'ng contest with about animals I have kept and how "difficult" they are. But I do have to admit that it is sad you find monitors so boring and yet feel the need to come on here and try to belittle others who obviously have more experience than you and the one savanah you once kept (and likely killed, given your poor advice.).

Quite honestly I have kept lots of herps over the years some difficult some not so much. I have kept water monitors for almost 20yrs now and find them just as fascinating now as I did when I first got into keeping monitors. I do not find them difficult to keep as long as their conditions are right and you learn how to read their behavior properly.

I have both failed at times and had fairly good success at times I have shared both experiences on here. I think Frank's advice is excellent and his track record speaks for itself. I wise person would listen to what he has to say and to what others have to say and consider what they have done and see if you can apply it to what you are doing with your own animals. Not all the advice on here from him or others may necessarily be useful to you but to think about it and see if it is will make you a better keeper in the long run and help your animals out in the end which is really important here.

The bottom line is you really need to look at your own flawed husbandry which is very flawed before you go on criticizing others who obviously have much more experience and success than you.
